"As quarterback Jalen Hurts made his way into the visitors locker room following the Eagles' 28-22 win over the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, he shouted, "We ain't f---ing losers no more." Hurts said he played with "some fire" following back-to-back losses to the Denver Broncos and New York Giants, and that was evident to teammates as he threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns and ended with a perfect 158.3 passer rating -- just the third Eagles signal-caller to do so."
"Hurts said that during the team's slide all he could think was the opportunities to finish down the stretch in games. The Eagles were dead last in yards per play (3.9), score percentage (24%) and punt percentage (53%) in the second half this season entering the game. Philadelphia flipped that script against Minnesota, as Hurts threw for 240 yards and a pair of scores in the second half."
Jalen Hurts led the Eagles to a 28-22 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, throwing for 326 yards, three touchdowns and a perfect 158.3 passer rating. Hurts said he played with "some fire" after back-to-back losses to the Broncos and Giants. He produced a dominant second half with 240 yards and two scores, averaging 20 yards per attempt over that span. DeVonta Smith caught a 79-yard touchdown off play-action after identifying a vulnerability when the Eagles went under center. Saquon Barkley noted the play call and the trust in Smith. The Eagles reversed poor second-half metrics with this performance.
